Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck antique label I can almost hear it

I can almost hear it chirping

Some rippling to the paper from the pasting

refunded immediately after purchase

I have lots of love for the person who created this whimsical construction--no small effort

It appears to have been used but is in excellent condition and still very sharp

Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck antique label I can almost hear itI found this small carved duck in Pennsylvania, and it appears to be quite an old one, in original white paint. Somewhere along with way endured a fire, resulting in a dramatically charred flip side. A bit tragic perhaps, for what a beautifully carved little duck, which appears to have been signed on the underside (now very faint), but I love the sort of dual natured drama of it as a result. 3 7 8" l x 1 5 8" w x 1 7 8" t. Very blackened on one side
